T-3 Energy Services, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2010 Earnings


HOUSTON, July 29, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- T-3 Energy Services, Inc. (Nasdaq:TTES) reported that second quarter 2010 income from continuing operations increased to $3.3 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to $2.0 million, or $0.15 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2010.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2010 increased 8% to $48.4 million, compared with $45.0 million in the first quarter of 2010. During the quarter, the Company benefitted from improvements in the United States market, which accounted for 57% of total revenues for the quarter.

Gross profit margins for the second quarter of 2010 improved to 35.8%, compared with 34.8% for the first quarter of 2010. Operating income for the second quarter of 2010 increased 79% to $5.0 million, compared with $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2010.

Steve Krablin, T-3's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "We are pleased to have achieved sequential improvements in revenues, operating income, bookings and backlog this quarter. A favorable product mix improved margins across all business units and contributed to a 65% incremental increase in our operating income from the increased revenues.

"Despite delays caused by the potential impact of new rules for Gulf Coast offshore drilling, we slightly increased quarterly bookings to $50.8 million. This represents the fourth consecutive quarterly increase in our bookings and also increased our backlog to $42.1 million at June 30, 2010. Of particular note, bookings for U.S. land activities began to increase toward the end of the quarter, and we are now seeing an uptick in bookings for service and certification work on items that may be used in both surface and subsea offshore operations.

"Looking forward, we believe recent events in the Gulf of Mexico will lead to an increase in demand for pressure control equipment and for the servicing of existing equipment. This should provide enhanced revenue opportunities for us once the timing and content of regulations is fully known. We welcome these changes and look forward to continuing to participate in the servicing, certification and upgrading of equipment to meet new requirements and customer needs."

T-3 Energy Services, Inc. provides a broad range of oilfield products and services primarily to customers in the drilling and completion of new oil and gas wells, the workover of existing wells and the production and transportation of oil and gas.
